An Introduction to the Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR)

Classroom course

This half day workshop introduces you to the core principles and main features of current biocidal legislation in the EU. It explains how your product is affected by the Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR) and what you need to do to be compliant if you have a biocidal product or a treated article.

Hazard Communication Courses

This Virtual Classroom will provide a useful overview of the requirements of the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation and how it impacts on hazardous product labelling. From June 1st 2015 it became obligatory for all European companies to adopt CLP (1272/2008) for all hazardous chemicals placed on the market. The focus of this webinar is to highlight the changes in classification system and its major impacts. The course will last 1 hour and questions will be taken for 15 minutes at the end. Participants also have the opportunity to type their questions during the webinar or up to 15 minutes afterwards. These will be collated and answered within 2 working days. Places are limited to 10 participants.

The provision of a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a legal requirement for all substances and mixtures meeting the criteria for classification under REACH and CLP. SDS are an effective and well established method of conveying hazards and providing information on the safe use and mitigation of risks. This webinar will guide you through the structure of an SDS, highlighting new requirements and enabling you to assess whether the SDS you distribute or receive from your suppliers are up-to-date and compliant with the Regulations. Details for access to the webinar will be emailed 1 week in advance of the event to all participants. The presentation will last 1 hour and questions will be taken for 15 minutes at the end. Participants also have the opportunity to type their questions during the webinar or up to 15 minutes afterwards. These will be collated and answered within 2 working days. There will be availability for a total of 10 participants.

The extended SDS (or “eSDS”) is required for substances registered under REACH where Exposure Scenarios (ES) were developed as part of the Chemical Safety Report (CSR). This one-day course aims to cover the scientific principles of exposure assessment and help you understand how to implement extended SDS in your organisation, dealing mainly with the technical concepts and linking in with regulatory requirements.

Hazard Communication - Safety Data Sheets Workshop

Classroom course

This one day workshop is aimed primarily at those who need to prepare and supply safety data sheets (SDS). Ongoing changes to the REACH and CLP Regulations have impacted on the content and layout of SDS and also increased the awareness of industry on the need for compliance with the new standard. The course will provide attendees with a full understanding of the requirements of a REACH compliant SDS and identify the skills and resources needed to produce them.

This one day workshop is designed to introduce you to the European Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) which sets out how chemical substances and mixtures should be classified, labelled and packaged before placing them on the market. The CLP Regulation implements the Globally Harmonised System for the classification and labelling of chemicals (GHS) which has now been adopted by many other countries around the world.

3 Day Hazard Communication Package

Classroom course

Our 3 day Hazard Communication course includes in-depth training on Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP), Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and Exposure Scenarios (extended SDS) obligations. The first day details the re-classification of substances and mixtures to CLP (Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008) through the use of exercises to classify and select appropriate Precautionary Statements, this in turn will ensure that the new classification and labelling information is conveyed correctly. The second day will provide the attendee with a thorough appreciation of the requirements and structure of a compliant Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for chemical substances and mixtures in accordance with the Safety Data Sheet Regulation (2015/830). The third day will explore extended SDS (or “eSDS”), covering the obligations to both authors and recipients of an eSDS, Exposure Scenarios (ES) development as part of the Chemical Safety Report (CSR) and how to integrate efficiently ES into the main body of the SDS where permitted.

OSPAR Courses

Introduction to OSPAR and REACH

Classroom course

Chemicals used in the exploration, exploitation and associated offshore processing of petroleum in the North Sea are required to be registered under the OSPAR Harmonised Mandatory Control System (HMCS) for the Use and Reduction of the Discharge of Offshore Chemicals as well as REACH. This full day workshop introduces you to the core principles and main features of the current OSPAR HMCS and REACH regulations.

REACH Courses

REACH - Substance Characterisation for REACH

Virtual classroom

Substance identity is a critical component of REACH and forms the basis of each individual registration. Analytical characterisation is the means by which substance identity is demonstrated and therefore it must be technically appropriate and unambiguous. This virtual classroom will last 1 hour and questions will be taken for 15 minutes at the end. Participants also have the opportunity to type their questions during the webinar or up to 15 minutes afterwards. These will be collated and answered within 2 working days. There will be availability for a total of 10 participants.

REACH - Understanding Authorisation and Development of Mitigating Strategies

Classroom course

Authorisation will affect anyone who manufactures, imports, or uses a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC). Once a substance is placed on Annex XIV, the use of that substance will be prohibited after a specified date unless authorisation for that use has been granted to the applicant. All users of the substance, irrespective of the scale of use, will require authorisation. The process of applying for authorisation is complex, requiring input from experts in many fields and from all parts of the supply chain. Whether you are a manufacturer or downstream user of an SVHC, knowledge of the requirements of authorisation is essential for a smooth transition through the process.

REACH - IUCLID

Classroom course

The day focuses on hands-on experience in applying IUCLID6 in line with REACH. IUCLID6 (International Uniform Chemical Information Database) is the official tool for data collection in accordance to REACH and is essential for those looking to successfully register in line with REACH. The workshop will cover all the main aspects of IUCLID6 and give you the chance to become familiar with the software and how it can be used most effectively. The workshop is delivered by experienced IUCLID6 trainers.

REACH - Managing REACH for Downstream Users

Classroom course

This one day course is designed to meet the needs of any organisation which uses chemicals, providing them with the knowledge and techniques to allow them to fulfil their obligations under the REACH Regulation and to manage the potential impact of the Regulation on their business.

REACH - Prepare for 2018 REACH Registration

Classroom course

The last REACH registration deadline is 31 May 2018, for companies manufacturing or importing substances between 1 and 100 tonnes per year. Whilst the earlier deadlines covered a smaller number of mainly well-known chemicals in large quantities, for this last deadline ECHA is expecting a much larger number of substances. This course will help you approach the 2018 registration deadline fully prepared. The course will clarify the registration process, cover essential topics such as substance identity, sameness, data sharing, etc.
